Charlamagne pled guilty to “contributing to the delinquency of a minor and was sentenced to 3 years of probation.” Now, Reid, 32, is asking for the case to be reopened and she is reportedly seeking legal representation. A petition has been created for the radio host to be fired from The Breakfast Club. He is now responding to the allegation.

Charlamagne hired attorneys Marty Singer and Michael Weinsten, who told TMZ via a statement, “More than seventeen years ago, Charlamagne was accused of a sexual assault. He never had sexual relations or any physical contact with the accuser and even provided DNA to prove it. At the time of these claims, Charlamagne cooperated fully with authorities, and after the investigation, this charge against him was dropped.”

The statement continued, “Charlamagne has spoken about this many times over the years in public, including in his book. While Charlamagne has empathy for all sexual assault victims, he cannot take responsibility for a crime he did not commit.”

TMZ also reports, “For the record, officials had always maintained that Charlamagne cooperated with the investigation and took a DNA test … which did not produce any evidence that he had sexual contact with the girl.” However, he did plead guilty to “the delinquency of a minor due to underage kids (including the accuser) drinking alcohol at the party he threw.”

Every Time Auntie Maxine Waters Proved She Was Unbought And Unbossed

Maxine Waters, or Auntie Maxine as we lovingly call her, has been been a fearless leader of justice for years. The 80 year old has more spirit than Democrats half her age. As we all know, Waters is enemy number one for Trump, but that hasn't stopped her activism or fighting spirit. Now, she has made history as the first woman and African American to be the chair of the House Financial Services Committee.

After being sworn in yesterday, Waters told MSNBC, "I've been focused on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. That was the center piece of the Dodd/Frank reform. And Mulvaney who was sent over temporarily by the president to oversee it after the guy who headed it left to run for governor. And he's tried to dismantle the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau."
She continued, "I'm going to focus on that and we're going to try and undo the damage that Mulvaney has done. The last two years have been very dangerous. I have been appalled and surprised at how blatant it has been. This administration is not at all concerned about the welfare of the average family."
Well said.
In honor of Auntie Maxine making history, see some of her most epic moments below.
